Madoff confessed and was arrested immediately. SBF confessed and went on a PR tour for a month



Has he confessed? I though his line was still "I'm not a fraudster, I've just been colossally incompetent"[1]. Although if he really believes that, he's going to be disappointed when its pointed out to him that some of his incompetence led to him defrauding people...

[1] Then following that admission with "and if people just give me another 8 billion dollars, I can fix everything" does perhaps point to him being a bit out of it. Or looking for the dumbest of marks.


True that he didn’t confess per se.

But his admissions and the public and transparent nature of the fraud are effectively equivalent. Anyway, now that action is being taken I’m placated :)
